Husband and his sisters!

bith Have never made any effort with me or our kids. I used to send birthday cards to his sisters and the kids every year then I stopped, when I had a girl they made do many sexist remarks of how unlucky I was (culturally boys preferred). They also as I made horrible comments if we were back in our home country we could easily have gotten “rid” of our daughter without any issues! That is just the top of the iceberg. They have made so many other hurtful comments. DH btw always remained silent and MIL refused her daughters would say that and called me a liar (DH could have backed me up as he was there but his response was “why do u always want to be right? Ignore it we know the truth).

After 7 years of this I completely stopped talking to them. Funny thing is the incident that led to to me stop talking was on my sons birthday they completely ignored me and my kids and that’s the moment I thought “fuck it” I haven’t spoken to them for 4 years now. This has caused conflict with DH and myself. I refuse up have them at kids parties as they make remarks and bitch about people.

we moved into our new home and DH has said I’m not allowed any family or friends (not that I have any due to the depression these bastard have caused me) to come over unless his sisters visit first. On my birthday my sisters and I met up in a Restarant and he stormed off saying “you would never sit around chatting with my sisters would you?”. I feel like I’m living in a demented world, has he not seen what they did to me and my kids?

how to move past this and live my life? He won’t let me be happy till I make up with his sisters. My family will never see our new home till he lets them and his condition is I make up with them. Please no LTB If it was that easy I found have already and not posted here!

Money isn’t worth being abused like this.
The way he behaves in front of your family is unhinged.
The fact that he wants you to be friends with people who have openly stated you should have aborted your child shows what rotten people they all are.

You are being abused by him and his sisters. Make no mistake if you invite them to your house, they will continue to abuse you - they will have 4 years to make up for.

And they will move to you daughter when she’s old enough to understand them.

Get the support of your family - they have seen how he behaves.

This relationship is no good for your mental health.The way husband and family behaving towards you is a form of abuse.Not nice for your daughters to grow up around either.Please get some support and move on.Money doesn't buy happiness.

You can't leave him because he earns lots of money? Is that the only reason? Your poor children.

Whataninsight · 08/05/2023 10:06

You haven’t said a word to them in 7 years and yet you alternate christmases?

His sisters are the probably, your family is not, and until that changes your sisters are not welcome and your family is, if he has a problem with that tell him to get lost or sort his sisters out. Simple

I know in some cultures people are more excited about boys than girls but I was shocked to read they'd talked about how you could've got rid of your daughter. I'd be devastated if someone said that about my daughter.

I'm also struggling with their logic... given that they too are daughters??

I've no advice OP, sending love.

I would personally tell him to stop being a controlling bastard! I would tell him you will invite whomever you wish into your home and he can do the same. Don't let him control you. Tell him he can invite his sisters whenever he likes, be polite and say hi, and then that's as much as you need to do. I do not condone his behaviour in the slightest but ultimately you can't stop him from inviting his family over and expect him to feel okay about you inviting yours.

Cultural issues can be very difficult to get past. He doesn’t support you though which makes it much harder.

I agree that I would allow his family over (it’s his house as well) but go out when they are there. What you do outside your house and who you spend that time with, is up to you and not for him to be controlling over.

Your husband is a piece of shit. What the actual fuck is wrong with him? His sisters are cunts.

I don’t know what to suggest beyond saying you have to find it in you to leave. This situation is insane.
